A witty story of Left Turn’s first year
“My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get.” –Forest Gump
One year ago, in a little cottage in Laguna Beach five people set out to create the most kick ass, colorful giant necklaces the world had ever seen. Judy at the helm took the biggest gemstones available and designed beautiful “nasty” necklaces, then Big Money G took the designs up to see Vince, Bianca and Karen to be commented on. Vince the master of all things ‘handy’ picked up a camera and photographed. Even if the air was as brisk as an Alaskan winter day! Karen the “writing poet” took on the task of naming each design and Bianca created printing pieces people just couldn’t resist. We grew out the cottage and moved over to “yee-ah-ttz cafe” or better known to everyone else as Inductors!
All that creativity lead to a beautiful website!
Liz, the bouncy socialite was added to the ever-growing family that Left Turn was becoming. But G&J didn’t stop there; we added the cutest little munchkin named Erin, now known as the “newest Mrs. MacDonald”.
Then there was a store!
Crazy days, chaotic office shenanigans all lead to the exposure we were waiting for. Even mamma Marge jumped in on the fun and added our weekly event now known as inventory Monday mania (or WWE with Mom).
This story does not end here but continues for another year and with a little luck, the same cute girls and the very handy gentlemen we’ll continue for many more years.
With many thanks and love, it is our pleasure be a part of Left Turn Jewelry.
